I regret buying MOBI from ebay a while ago 200w doesn't ever go above 60 - 70w.

Lol, the blankets are the most useless panels ever. You basically can only lay them on the ground, or do what you did, lay them over another set of panels to angle them. Just get Echoflow, you get the actual advertised watts from them, I get 166W on the 160W mono panels.

Very informative video, helped me a lot. Could you please tell me what make and size cables you are using both to the DCDC at the thicker one to the battery. Cheers

Just had one installed on the Central Coast and haven’t had a hot shower out of it yet! 3 weeks later. Extremely disappointed! Thinking of kicking it to the kerb and getting a bog standard electric unit😢

Gee what a shocker you've been discharging at 131 amps for hours and the terminal is a little hot. Really!

Cheers mate!

Have you done one of the kings panels at all ? We have been looking at one for the van

Hi. My house has a water heater like that, but I don't know how to set the hot water temperature on the setting panel. I watched your video but there is no option to reset the hot water temperature on the setting panel of the water heater. If anyone knows, please show me or give me a more detailed video. Thanks all.

Craig Where can I get the Thunder I can’t find it on eBay

Well made batteries are usually a couple of percent over their rating when new. 98 percent is not good.

Great test vid,just remember double your length of cable to work out the losses,up and back.

Can you get the thunder anymore?

other tests on other youtube channels on this battery, when torn down show they are not new pouches and appear to be re-cyled B cell pouches.

Very good video thx

Better to get two free 200w solar panels, use hinges and make it a suitcase. In Australia, old polycrystalline solar panels are free now. I collected 20 free solar panels last week.

Sorry ..but you got this test completely f....up...stupidity

what size wire are you using ? I noticed A big improvment running 0 gauge wire .

It’s a fire hazard

No worse than the big brands

It’s a shame that a loose terminal failed it but that is a worry Unfortunately I have seen two of the king’s battery boxes melt in the lid for the exact same thing Under the internal lid loose terminations on the cables

What size cables were going into the dcdc?

I don’t think Kings use A Grade cells due to the low cycles whereas an A grade cell would give you upto 6000 cycles

I have this battery in my Avan now for 6 months It has never gotten below 12 volts running my fridge 24-7 On solar and while in the bush for two months gold detecting Never flat not even below 12 volt That’s TV lights fridge battery charging my gear too Had no problems with it lipo4 only Have the 130 in my truck running my other fridge 24-7 never below 12 CANOT say anything bad about them

$2770 is a lotta cash 💰 but it’s a very nice battery

Hey mate, so if I was looking for a portable panel set up to 300w, what would be your top picks?

I have only had one experience with KINGS and it was my last, they failed in every aspect of business, from product through to customer service and everywhere in between, NEVER AGAIN.

The capacity is probably there. Heaps of heat loss with the high current draw. Losts of glue, huge case, blocks on top with glue. It's a bit like buying a second hand car with a new paint job. You don't get to see what's under the paint. Better to buy the cells and a better BMS and put it together yourself. Much cheaper or much bigger capacity.

The missing A/H was in the hot battery terminal

Victron battery has no bms inside so can be smaller.

It’s worth noting when testing this there may be a few issues simply because they have not been that many software updates so if there’s any issues they may not be fixed

Hi Craig. I acnnot find any current sellers of the 240W Thunder unit. Is it still available to your knowledge

You need to move the gas bottles away from electrical heaters

Well, they can't call it 200 if it's not 200

Lovely Ep and setup,, I did a quick add up of your setup and might of got the price not quite right, your setup is around $2400 if I had to buy it, thats a lot for a 100 amp lithium set up

Those must toast alternators quick

Send it back.

Thanks for doing this review, I was considering buying a 2 hand one of these for $1000. Think I might pass. I am new to lithium and have a 125ah Invicta bmpro in my Jayco. I am having troubles with BMS cut out while trying to get solar charge into it. That bms cuts out and the voltage jumps up to the 14.2v saying 100% full, when it is not. Is there a fix for this problem of the BMS rejecting solar chatter. I tried today discharging the battery to very low, hoping to reset the BMS. The battery accepted solar better ,but eventually shot up to 14.2 volts again. The battery is 3-4years old but I am not the original purchaser. I hope I can get this resolved, there $2k!!

Can you do the 300ah kings review? Please.

Good job man I really like the review

Where can I get one of these thunder panels from

Great review. Would love to see a review and tear down of the 230ah Ecostore LifePO4 from Ecowatt. Claimed to be 230ah, A Grade Eve cells, but price point would suggest something isn’t right

That’s a great setup you got there, nice battery and small for 300 amps

Yeah, the only thing I agree on with this being a failure relates to that loose positive terminal.

At such a high continuous discharge rate of course the battery won’t give you the full 200ah. Tests should be done at 10a discharge and then it will probably give you more than 200ah. This battery did really well.

So what’s the best brand lithium u would recommend?

These are the tests we all want to see on all batteries. The manufacturers should be doing these videos. Not RUclipsrs. Great work! Would you recommend going with a single 200Ah or two 100Ah?

Those are rip offs!

Does better than 2k DCS battery

A waste of space, maybe t he space is for heat dissapation
